! the day following Thew went to New
| York. principally. yet included many inter
! mediate points The weeks shipment will
possibly exceed 100 crates. So far very
satisfactory returns are made. When the
main crop of peaches-those that rlpen in
July and August-begin to come in things
will be lively around the express Office about
! train time 1t is estimated that fully 500
crates per day will be shipped during these
months. These immense shipments, in adj
dition to an evaporating establishment con
Stunning from 800 to 500 bushels per day, will
! give some idea of the peach interest in that
vicinity. In addition Louis A. Rumph will
gather fully 10000 bushels of fine apples
| from a single orchard. These, however,
will be stored for the winter trade.
The young men from Elberton, who make
summer trips to the mountains, seem to be
rather unfortunate. Last year party of
young men lett there and lost their road in
the mountains, and were mistaken by the
mountainous for revenue raiders and were
compelled to plead humbly at the muzzle of
guns to be allowed TO pass. About ten days
ago d. II. Brown, W. T. Arnold ard Alex.
McCurry left Elberton for a mountain trip.
| They are three of Eiberton's most moral
and popular young men, and perhaps, all
engaged to be married. On last Saturday
Judge Almond, the Ordinary, received a
letter from Rabun county asking for infor-
nation about the young gentlemen. The
letter was Immediately replied TO, indolsinG
them very strongly. Their many friends at
home feel some solicitude about them, but
hope that no serious misfortune has befallcn
them. Isn't it about time for the State gov
eminent to interfere, if a citizen cannot
travel from one county to another!

Col. NJ. K. Light, commanding the South
ern division of the Salvation Army, stated
to an Atlanta Journal reporter Tuesday
morning the following: Sowing TO the re-
markable progress of our work in the South
we are confronted with the necessity of the
early establishment of Southern head
quarters and training school for officers in
connection Herewith. After carefully con
sidering the matter, we have concluded to
locate them in Atlanta as the point best
adapted for the purpose, and we are about
to ask a subscription of $1,000 to accom-
plish it by July next. We expect to have

mites where the people are urging
US to establish Them How many stations
have you now in the Southm Thirteen, |

nOoga, about year ago. Since Capt
| Brucker first came 10 Atlanta, Jan. 10 last
they have been established at the following
places: Charlotte, ~ c.; Atlanta and the
| Exposition Mills; Columbia s. c.; Augusta
| Macon, Savannah, Columbus and Athens,
| Ga; Nashville, Knoxville and Bristol,
Tenn. We could locate twenty more imme-
diately if we had the officers, and we pro-
pose to have them very soon after the
establishment of the Training Home in At
